I think that the right solution would be to prompt the user for retrying. The user should have the choice between: 1. Retry (default). 2. Choose a different folder where the message could be saved, and retry on it. 3. Some alternative solution to avoid losing the message (in case the user had not put himself in Cc/Bcc)? (e.g. send the message to some address if possible) 4. Abort (i.e. the message is not saved at all). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
